About Us

We started Transparent Classroom in early 2012 to serve a Montessori school Jeremy and Karissa had just opened in
Seattle.
Our goal at the time was to make record keeping easy and fun...and as long as we were doing that, why not share
it with parents too. Our teachers and parents loved it, and by the start of 2015, we had 20 other schools using it.

Today, our little experiment has proved successful. The Montessori community has embraced it, and in turn continues
to teach us what it needs to do. Transparent Classroom continues to learn and grow.
